Why Naumen Erudite is optimal for high-quality servicing of customers without operators?

  • Creates custom language models subject to specific features of your business.
  • Is capable to simultaneously process different data types. The bots perceive both voice data (ASR) and typed data (DTMF)
  • Deeply understands informal speech. Having received a request to call back, the bot asks for convenient time and correctly interprets replies like «Tomorrow after 3 o’clock», «By the end of this week», or «On Friday before lunch».
  • Accurately identifies query topics and meanings. Asks clarifying questions If the bot is not sure what customers mean.
  • Extracts facts from open remarks. For example, the bot extracts the following facts out of the phrase «Good day, I applied for an international passport the day before yesterday»: document — foreign passport; when — the day before yesterday.
  • Produces no impact to customers’ experience. Customers can switch to operators at any time, if it is hard for them to speak with bots.

Success Stories

The Russian Post

Voice bots classify and route customer requests, track the statuses of mailings, search for branch offices by street addresses or zip codes and give their operation hours.

After robotic automation request processing costs (package tracking) reduced by 6 times.

30 operators started to service more complex projects.

20% of calls are serviced without operator participation.

Mosenergosbyt

The bot accepts meter readings in voice mode, informs about account balance and files applications for paid services. It also calls around debtors, informs about debt collection reasons and agrees due dates with customers.
As a result of robotization:

Operator workload reduced by 40%

Debt payments increased by 15%

Promsvyazbank

A virtual assistant works with customers from small and medium size businesses on the bank’s website and through the mobile application. A bot replies to frequently asked questions, provides basic technical support and other services, such as: reserves accounts, selects service tariffs or merchant acquiring conditions.

The virtual assistant deals with 37 most frequent topics as of June 2019.

Inter RAO UES

The voice bot identifies request topics, customers by their addresses or by personal account numbers. It is capable of receiving customer’s readings of heat and water supply meters within a single call. The bot converts spoken data to numbers and transmits them to the billing system of OMSK RTS.

The robotic bot was put into service in 2 months from the project start.

Novosibirskenergosbyt

A voice bot accepts readings from power supply, hot and cold water meters, informs about last payments and account balance. The bot services not only individuals, but also legal entities, which call to consult on service conditions or check debts.

As of early October the bot serviced 150 000 requests

Moscow City Department of Information Systems

The voice bot of the Moscow Transport contact center helps Moscow residents to find an evacuated car and informs about the address of a special parking area. Upon receiving the customers’ requests, the bot explains where a car is and how to get it back depending on evacuation reasons.

The bot processes 80% of calls to the car evacuation hotline during working hours.

The bot services Moscow residents 2 times faster than the operators.
